you can use something like the linksys wrv54G and set up a tunnel between each other. If you already have a router and just want a tunnel device then the linksys BEFVP41 should work just fine.

I don't know, I didn't read what you said...

thanks mr robinson, i somewhat got it to work with the help of a cisco vpn router from work, buttttttt the lag was soooooo great that it wasnt even worth the project

Just for the record, the sonicwall soho tzw works beautifully as well so you don't NEED cisco.

Yea I know... but you can still use what I first suggested. the Linksys BEFVP41, it'll put netbios over the tunnel. On the advanced page for the vpn in that device is a check box that says NetBIOS Broadcast, just check it and it'll work. That's the one I have. I forget how much it is, but it isn't cisco/sonicwall prices...

Sorry I'm not familiar with msft vpn but any of their networking hardware I never recommend compared to linksys or dlink.
